Do your homework on Affordable Care Act

The amount of information out there right now about the Affordable Care Act is mind boggling.
I have heard so many statements in the past few weeks that back up my feeling that there is a lot of misinformation out there as well.
As the October 1st enrollment date quickly approaches, you owe it to yourself to ignore the statements, the things you read on social media and do your homework about the Affordable Care Act and how it impacts you and your family.
Even if you have health insurance through your job, this is a major shift in our country and one you need to be aware of.
For those of you who don't know, Arkansas has been on the forefront of the Affordable Care Act and being proactive about the way we are handling this as a state.
You may have heard of Arkansas Health Connector. If you live in Arkansas, this is going to be your best resource for information.
You can log on to arhealthconnector.org to learn what you need to know to make sure you are informed and abide by the law.
Learn as much as you can and ignore the misinformation whether you agree with the Affordable Care Act or not. That will make this A Better Region 8.
